RINEX Conversion Software

RX3name by Nacho Romero

The RX3name program generates the long filename for a Rinex 3 file based on its short filename. The program works only on the provided string and has an internal correspondence list of names covering all the IGS/EUREF/APREF/SIRGAS stations.
To create a long-name copy of the file in the directory where the short name file is found you could use from a Linux command line.

$ RX3name llag123k45.16o | xargs -I {} cp llag123k45.16o {}

The following operating systems are currently supported:
* Linux 64
* MacOSX
* SunOS (SPARC)

GFZRNX :: See [IGSMAIL-7052] for details (from GFZ IGS Analysis Team, email: nisn at gfz-potsdam.de)

In order to support and promote the IGS MGEX RINEX-3 transition GFZ IGS AC team kindly provided the tool "gfzrnx" for formal RINEX-2/3 file handling, which combines basic file-based features of our internal RINEX tools.
The following RINEX data types are supported:
* Observation data,
* Navigation data,
* Meteorological data.
The following operations/tasks are supported:
* RINEX file check and repair (format),
* RINEX file format conversion ( version 3 to 2 and reverse ),
* RINEX file splice,
* RINEX file split,
* RINEX file observation statistics generation,
* RINEX file manipulations like:
- data sampling,
- observation types selection,
- satellite systems selection,
- elimination of overall empty or sparse observation types.
* Automatic RINEX-2 and RINEX-3 file naming of output file(s).
The following operating systems are currently supported:
* Linux 64
* SunOS (SPARC)
* SunOS (i86)
* MacOSX
* Windows 64

cnvrnx3-rnx2-v3.f (from Oscar L. Colombo, GESTAR-USRA/NASA GSFC)

This program converts Rinex 3 files with mixed GPS and GLONASS data into Rinex 2 files with GPS only, or GPS+GLONASS data (other GNSS' data that might be in it is ignored).
The user chooses GPS only or GPS+GLONASS by entering the appropriate value of an argument in the program's command line.
In version (3.1.4, Jan. 2015) some minor bugs have been fixed and minor changes made to improve its functioning. The combined name of the Rinex 3 file to be converted preceded (when necessary) by its path, can be up to 100 characters long. The translated Rinex 2 version is always created in the same working directory where this program is executed.
This program is written in Fortran, and can be compiled with the GNU's Gfortran, or with the old G77 (still around in many Linux machines), and also with any incarnation, past and present, of (the nowadays named) "Intel Fortran" for Windows, Linux, or Macs.
There are a number of running options, and the explanation at the beginning of the source code is probably enough to give a good idea of how to use it, and what one can get out of it. Also, by entering in the command line the name of the program without any arguments, one gets a listing on the screen that explains much the same things as the lines at the beginning of the source.
Depending on the compiler used, some lines in the code might have to be commented or uncommented. Those are the lines calling the subroutine that reads the arguments from the command line, and they are clearly marked in the code, so it is hard to miss them. These lines appear near de top of the executable code.
April 2014 update to version 3 includes fixes for minor problems encountered with RINEX 3.

Latest released set of pre-compiled builds of BKG Ntrip Client (BNC)

Version 2.11.0 includes a bug fix for GLONASS code biases as well as RTCM SSR message updates for PPP. The maximum number of GNSS observations has been increased and the loss of lock handling modified. BNC now supports raw stream output through TCP/IP port.
Set Edit Options for BNC - mandatory if 'Edit/Concatenate' is set on
